1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Aleph ("the App"), a Torah learning application for children. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Aleph ("we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the App, including all content, features, and services offered through the App.
By creating an account, downloading, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are a parent or legal guardian creating an account for a child under 13, you agree to these Terms on behalf of your child and accept responsibility for their use of the App.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.
2. Eligibility
The App is designed for children learning Torah. If you are under 13 years of age, you may only use the App with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. By allowing your child to use the App, you represent that you are the child's parent or legal guardian and that you consent to the child's use of the App in accordance with these Terms.
If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you may use the App with the consent of your parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
3. Account Registration
To use the App, you must create an account using one of our supported authentication methods: Apple Sign In, Google Sign In, or email and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to update such information as necessary. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information.
You may not create more than one account per person, share your account credentials with others, or use another person's account without their permission.

We reserve the right to modify, manage, regulate, control, or eliminate virtual items at any time, with or without notice. We shall have no liability to you for exercising these rights.
7. AI Chat Feature (Chavruta)
